SASH-CORD FASTENER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 491,966, dated February14, 1893.

Original application filed November 2, 1891, Serial No. 410,574. Dividedand this application filed August 11, 1892- $eria1 No.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL J ENKINSON, of Rochester, in the county ofMonroe and State of New York, have invented certain new and 5 usefulImprovements in Window-Sash Tape or Cord Fasteners; and I do herebydeclare the following'to be a full, clear, and exact description of thesame, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, forming a part[0 of this specificatiomand to the reference-numerals marked thereon.

My present invention has for its object, to provide a simple and cheapdevice for securing the sustaining tape or cord to window sashes, and itconsists in an improved construction hereinafter described; the novelfeatures being pointed out in the claims at the end of thisspecification.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my tape fastener; andFig. 2 a sectional view of the same, showing its application to a windowsash.

Similar reference numerals indicate similar parts.

My fastener is composed of a single piecepreferably of cast metal havinga body portion 1 in the form of a plate provided at its inner end with adownwardly projecting semicircular web or flange 2, and near its outer 0end with a corresponding upwardly projecting Web or flange 3; and beyondthis with a loop 4. for the application of the sustaining tape or cord5. In the present instance this loop 4 is adapted for the attachment ofa tape 3 5 and projects a very short distance beyond the edge of thesash; but it is obvious that it could be made larger so thatasash cordcould be readily applied, which cord would as is usual lie in a groovein the edge of the sash.

The flanges 2 and 3 are as stated, rounded so that they will fit intothe usual auger holes 6 in the sash, and the edges are preferablysomewhat sharpened so that they will biteinto the top and bottom thereofwhen the weight of the sash is upon the tape and prevent the accidentaloutward movement of the fastener. Unless this outward movement isprevented, the fastener might work out and marthe window casing, andinterfere with the proper operation of the sash.

In applying the device to a sash, it is only necessary to place it inthe aperture in the sash and attach the tape; or a cord could as well beattached by varying the shape of the loop on the end of the device aswill be understood by those skilled in the art.

This application is a division of an application filed by me November 2,1891, Serial No. 410,574.

I claim as my invention 7 6o 1. The fastener or attaching device forwindow tapes adapted to be inserted in an aperture in a sash, composedof the body portion. having the upwardly extending flange or web nearits outer end, and the downwardly extending flange or web near itsinnerend, substantially as described.

2. The fastener or attaching device for window tapes adapted to beinserted in an aperture in a sash, composed of a body portion. havingthe loop at its outer end, the upwardly extending web or flange alsonear said end and the downwardly extending flange or web near its innerend, substantially as described.
